Sous Vide Lemon Rosemary Salmon

This recipe is one that will change the minds of salmon-skeptical everywhere. The rosemary & lemon combination is so incredibly yummy, especially with crispy seared skin and the garlic chip and caper garnishes, that I dare you to find someone who does not like it. The one caveat - use fresh salmon for best results and get to tryin'!

Temperature Options:

115F / 46.1C

Ingredients

• 1 lb/450 g wild salmon
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon chopped rosemary (~4g)
• Zest of one lemon
• Juice of one lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• Optional: 2 cloves garlic & 2 Tablespoons nonpareil capers

Directions

1. Set your Anova Precision Cooker to 115ºF/46ºC
2. Mix the oil, rosemary, lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until emulsified
3. Place the salmon into a zip-locking or resealable bag and add the emulsified mixture
4. Release as much air as possible using the immersion method
5. Place the bag in the bath and set the timer for 30 minutes
6. While it is cooking, slice two cloves of garlic very thinly

Finishing Steps

1. Remove from the bath and pour the contents onto a plate with a lip to keep the bag juices
2. Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When it flows easily around and coats the pan, add the garlic slices and saute until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula, leaving the oil in the pan, and drain on a paper towel
3. In the same oil, add the salmon pieces, skin side down. Let it cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes to achieve crispy skin
4. Remove from the pan and garnish with crispy garlic slices and capers. Enjoy!
